Tiger Sawgill started as a mycelium syringe purchased off Ebay. A liquid culture was created. Popcorn spawn was created from the liquid culture. Magazines and fresh cut arrow bamboo was soaked for 2 hours in a weak bleach solution. The magazines and bamboo were layered into a platic milk crate, and the whole assembly was wrapped by a clear plastic bag. Every layer of bamboo had a sprinkling of popcorn spawn. The innoculation took place Jan 5, 2013.

Blue Oyster spawn on millet was purchased through a contact made on Craiglist. It came from Boston. I had left over paper and straw from the Golden Oyster batch started 12/22/2012. I placed this with the Blue Oyster spawn into a log-shaped plastic clamshell package that held ice cream sandwiches.
